The early appearance of resources north of the 49th parallel of North Latitude and the confirmation of large individuals,そしてプエルト・マドリンおよびプエルト・デセアードへのイカ鱼りThe entry of the fishing boat into the port is very strong, and the 2026 fishing boat is very strong.ートを奇り, port activities and fishery related person に前面きなlook forward to をもたらしている.

In 2026, Japan's fishery industry and the industry's original predictions will not open under the same conditions as last time. The northern fishing ground at 44 degrees south latitude and 49 degrees south latitude has been lifted, and the fishing license has been approved, and the high-density fishery resources have been confirmed for a short period of time. The results are now available at sea, the catch is high at night , and the fish warehouse is available for a short period of time , そして年にない时いでシーズンが开 start まったという common understanding ががっている.

The spatial distribution of the catch points is 50 to 85 per year , and the fish catch is concentrated.ただし, this time's special focus を集 めたのは, initial operation でconfirmation されたサイズ constituteである. Lサイズがsubjectとなり, Sサイズもmixed inしつつ, mantle thickみがあり, growth stageが enterんだindividualが多く见られた. In the early stages of the development of the industry, it is necessary to be careful and cautious in the future resource trends.

The resumption of the harbor: Marigold

The land-based program will be visited on January 18, 2026, and on January 22, 2026 .プエルト・マドリン（チュブzhou）とプエルト・デセアード（サンタ・クルス州)で, the first official formula of this season is 水阳げが実事されたのである. Marigold Port's operational efficiency is high and its operation efficiency is high. BP Zhou Yu 9 BP Lu Qing Yuan Yu 288 ships 24 hours has not cleared the cargo, supply, departure from the port has been completed, the return rate of the shore wall has increased, and the standby time has been reduced.

一方、プエルト・デセアードでは、数週間にわたる低稼働状態の後、イカ釣り船の入港が地域経済にとって重要な回復の兆しとなった。最初に接岸したのはLuqing Yuan Yu 280で、740トンのイカを水揚げ。続いてLuqing Yuan Yu 287が同規模の水揚げを行い、いずれも二口荷揚げ方式で作業が進められた。今後はVieirasa Dieciocho、Xin Shi Ji No.95、Xin Shi Ji No.92、Orion 3、Hoyo Maru No.37、Soho Maru No.58、Luqing Yuan Yu 277、Hai Xiang 17の入港が予定されており、港湾労働の回復への期待が高まっている。

第2次航海と初期水揚げ量

最初の水揚げを終えた後、複数のイカ釣り船がほぼ間を置かずに漁場へ戻り、年内第2次航海に入った。対象船はHuyu 962（PM）、Lu Qing Yuan Yu 276（PM）、Sunrise 888（PM）、Lu Qing Yuan Yu 288（PM）、Zhou Yu 9（PM）、Lu Qing Yuan Yu 280（PD）などである。同時に、プエルト・マドリンのアルミランテ・ストルニ埠頭にはSur Este 502とLu Qing Yuan Yu 286が入港し、地域全体の船舶往来が本格化している。

公式統計はまだ確定していないものの、業界推計では累計水揚げ量は約4,000トンに達すると見られ、順調な滑り出しを裏付けている。

EEZ境界付近の動向

200海里線周辺では、今年特有の動きが観測されている。冷凍船やトロール船の存在、特に垂直開口の大きい底曳き網を使用する船舶が、国際水域へ移動するイカ資源に対し抑制的な影響を及ぼしている可能性がある。このため船団間の相互作用が強まり、操業成績にばらつきが生じている。イカ釣り船の日量漁獲は概ね18トン以下にとどまる一方、トロール船はEEZ外縁部でより良好な成果を上げている。

管理体制と科学的監視

漁獲量の多さだけでなく、今季の特徴は継続的な資源管理と科学的モニタリングにある。業界では、生物学者マルセラ・イバノビッチとINIDEP（国立漁業開発研究所）頭足類チームの取り組みが高く評価されており、資源保全に適合した逃避率の維持が図られている。また、水産・水域資源担当次官 フアン・アントニオ・ロペス・カソルラ（CFP）との継続的な対話も、持続可能性を重視した意思決定の支えとなっている。

早期開幕、高品質な製品、活発な港湾活動、そして慎重な資源管理が組み合わさり、2026年イカ漁シーズンは近年でも屈指の高強度なシーズンとして1月から存在感を示している。今後はマイル50～85海域での資源動向と、EEZ境界部での操業調整がシーズンの行方を左右することになりそうだ。

 2026年鱿鱼捕捞季：提前启动、港口活跃，南大西洋释放积极信号

在南纬 49°以北鱿鱼资源提前出现、大规格个体占比突出，以及鱿鱼钓船持续驶入马德林港（Puerto Madryn）和德塞阿多港（Puerto Deseado），共同构成了2026年鱿鱼捕捞季强劲的开局，对港口运营和行业信心产生了直接而积极的影响。

2026年鱿鱼渔业在明显好于行业预期的条件下拉开帷幕。随着南纬 44°至49°北部渔区获准作业，获准作业的鱿鱼钓船队很快发现了高密度的鱿鱼资源群。海上反馈立竿见影：夜间作业产量高、船舱迅速装满，整个行业普遍认为本季开局罕见地强劲。

Spatially, the concentrated catch areas largely follow the pattern of previous years, mainly located between 50 and 85 nautical miles , off the coast of Bahía Camarones . However, what truly attracted widespread attention was the size distribution of the initial catches . The catches were predominantly large (L-sized) individuals , with some smaller (S-sized) individuals as well. Most squid exhibited thick mantles and well-developed bodies , characteristics not commonly seen at the beginning of the season. While this was welcomed, it also prompted the industry to maintain a cautious outlook on the subsequent evolution of the catch.

Ports reopen: Madeline and De Seado resume busy operations

The key period for land-based operations occurred between January 18 and 22, 2026 , with the ports of Madryn (Chubut Province) and De Seado (Santa Cruz Province) welcoming their first official unloadings of the season . At Madryn, operational efficiency was particularly outstanding, with vessels such as BP Zhou Yu 9 and BP Lu Qing Yuan Yu 288 completing unloading, resupply, and re-departure in less than 24 hours , significantly improving berth turnaround efficiency and reducing ineffective berthing time.

The arrival of squid fishing vessels in Desaiado port marks a crucial recovery in port activity after weeks of sluggishness . The first vessel to berth, Luqing Yuan Yu 280, unloaded 740 tons of squid , followed by Luqing Yuan Yu 287 , which completed a similar unloading operation, both using double-port unloading . In the coming days, vessels such as Vieirasa Dieciocho , Xin Shi Ji 95 , Xin Shi Ji 92 , Orion 3 , Hoyo Maru 37 , Soho Maru 58 , Luqing Yuan Yu 277 , and Hai Xiang 17 are expected to enter the port, bringing new hope to the local port labor market.

Second voyage commencement and initial unloading volume

After completing their first round of unloading, several squid fishing vessels returned to the fishing grounds almost immediately to begin their second voyage of the year . These included Huyu 962 (PM) , Lu Qing Yuan Yu 276 (PM) , Sunrise 888 (PM) , Lu Qing Yuan Yu 288 (PM) , Zhou Yu 9 (PM) , and Lu Qing Yuan Yu 280 (PD) . Meanwhile, the Almirante Stolny terminal in Madeline port also welcomed Sur Este 502 and Lu Qing Yuan Yu 286 , indicating a significant increase in vessel traffic in the area.

Although official statistics have not yet been finalized, industry estimates suggest that the cumulative unloading volume for this quarter has reached nearly 4,000 tons , further confirming a solid and positive start .

Dynamics at the edge of the exclusive economic zone

Near the 200-nautical-mile mark , squid movement exhibits unique characteristics this year. The presence of frozen processing vessels and trawlers , especially those using bottom trawls with larger vertical openings , may have a "blocking effect" on squid biomass migrating into international waters. This situation exacerbates the interaction between different fleets and leads to differences in operational performance: squid fishing vessels typically catch less than 18 tons per day , while trawlers have achieved relatively better results outside Argentina's exclusive economic zone .

Management and Scientific Monitoring

Behind the intensive operations, resource management and scientific monitoring systems provided support for this season's operations. The work of biologist Marcela Ivanovic and the cephalopod research team at INIDEP (National Institute for Fisheries Development) is widely recognized in the industry, with their core objective being to maintain escape rates that meet the requirements for long-term resource conservation . Meanwhile, Juan Antonio López Cazorla, Deputy Minister of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, as a key liaison for the CFP , is also promoting coordination between administrative decisions and the Sustainable Development Goals.

Thanks to an early start , high-quality catches , fully active ports , and strict resource monitoring, the 2026 squid fishing season has exhibited an unprecedented level of intensity since January. Looking ahead, resource changes in the traditional fishing grounds between 50 and 85 nautical miles and operational adjustments at the edge of the Exclusive Economic Zone will be key factors determining the season's trajectory.
